Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common neuropsychiatric disorder encountered in children and adolescents. It affects about 5% of children. Major symptoms of ADHD are attention problems, hyperactivity and impulsivity.
The most commonly prescribed drugs for ADHD are psychostimulants, including methylphenidate and amphetamine, and atomoxetine, a non-stimulant noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors. However, the need of new compounds with a better efficacy and less undesirable side effects remains a major objective.
This presentation will focus on three preclinical in vivo models allowing to evaluate in rats the effects of compounds on the three main symptoms of ADHD: impulsivity, inattention and hyperactivity.
